The playoff race in the NBA is heating up and that means that the pretenders and non-contenders are looking forward to the NBA Draft. Of course, that also means those teams are looking toward March Madness in the college ranks to get a feel for who they want to draft. While there are plenty of […]

OKC’s Collison is dumbfounded on team’s rash of injuries

To say the Thunder have been bit by the injury bug this season would be an understatement. They’ve been chewed up, mauled, and chomped by the injury bug. OKC has seemingly lost Kevin Durant for the season due to a foot injury, Serge Ibaka has gone down, Russell Westbrook was hurt for a while and […]

Brook Lopez fails miserably at attacking Pacers’ Hibbert on offense

Oh Brook! Against the Pacers, the Nets’ Brook Lopez found himself one-on-one on the offensive side of the court against the Pacers’ Roy Hibbert. Lopez sized Hibbert up, did a few fake moves with the ball and… tripped up on the floor, got his head stuck in Roy’s crotch, turned the ball over and even […]

P.J. Tucker… the Harden stopper!

Houston’s James Harden is on a tear this season. So much so, he is mentioned as a strong MVP candidate and has Houston among the best teams in the West sans Dwight Howard. Yes, Harden has proven this season almost no one can slow him down. Enter the Suns’ P.J. Tucker. As Tucker found himself […]

Pelicans’ Gordon falls flat on his face and loses a tooth

Bogut doesn’t want to share with Gobert

I guess the Warriors’ Andrew Bogut didn’t learn the meaning of sharing when he was growing up in Australia. During the Warriors-Jazz recent game, Utah’s Rudy Gobert was soaking in sweat and needed some help from Bogut. Seeing him grab himself a towel to dry off, Rudy decided to see if Bogut would be a […]

Top 4 Potential Coaching Vacancies, Who Fills Them

Thus far in the 2014-2015 NBA season three head coaches have lost their jobs. Mike Malone, formerly the Kings head coach, led the way followed by Orlando’s release of Jacque Vaughn, and most recently Brian Shaw in Denver. George Karl quickly filled the Kings’ coaching hole, but Orlando and Denver stay committed to their interim […]

Kawhi you gotta be so rude?

Here’s some things you already know. The Spurs, the defending NBA champions, are a contender. The Hawks, the top seed in the East, are heavily influenced by San Antonio — in the front office, on the court, and at head coach, where Mike Budenholzer and Greg Popovich have an elaborate history. And last night’s 114-95 […]

The Great Gatsby: Steve Nash Officially Calls it a Career

In a piece published in The Players’ Tribune, 18-year NBA veteran Steve Nash announced his retirement from the NBA months after being ruled out for the season due to a back injury.

LeBron James thinks the free throw line is near half court

I think LeBron James forgot that the free throw line is near the rim and not somewhere close to the half-court mark. Against the Bucks, James was close to the half-court line when the ref blew the whistle. So what did James do? Oh just casually shoot the ball at the rim and sink it […]

Curry defies the laws of physics to knock down this bucket

How do you know you are having one heck of an NBA season? When you’re the Warriors’ Stephen Curry versus the Jazz and somehow manage to make a bucket as you are falling to the court, surrounded by Jazz defenders, flip the ball up in the air and somehow the ball finds the bottom of the […]

Grizz gets revenge on Blazers’ Lopez

The mascot strikes back! Blazers’ Robin Lopez has had a running fued with NBA mascots. For some reason, Lopez just doesn’t like the mascots that bring a smile to fans in the stands. Up until today, Lopez had the best of mascots but Memphis’ mascot – Grizz – got some revenge on Robin on behalf […]

We might just have the dunk of the year courtesy of Derrick Williams

Are you ready to get out of your seat? Because you might set your eyes on what is arguably the dunk of the year. Against the Hornets, the Kings’ Derrick Williams obliterated Hornets big man Bismack Biyombo with a dunk that ranks right up there with any humiliating dunk the Clippers’ Blake Griffin might serve up.

Celtics’ Smart found out you don’t mess with Bonner

You don’t mess with the “Red Mamba.” Ever! And Boston’s Marcus Smart found out the hard way when he hit Matt in his “red mamba” in the second half of the Spurs-Celtics game tonight.  Coming off a pick, Smart and Bonner got tangled up when Marcus took a jab at Matt’s groin. The result… “Red […]

Prospect look ahead: Rico Gathers

Many considered the Big 12 the best conference in the country this season. I wouldn’t disagree. While previewing the conference for USA Today Sports this fall, I looked at team after team — Iowa State to Oklahoma State to West Virginia — and thought “Wow, the Big 12 may get eight teams in the Big […]
